Visitors have all sorts of wireless activities available to keep them entertained throughout the day, from hiking in the nearby woods to fishing or hunting in the many reserves located throughout Palencia province. The Cantabrian mountains have a plethora of trails at your disposal, leading to sites like Roblón de Estalaya’s El Abuelo (The Grandfather), an ancient oak tree; or Senda del Bosque Fósil (The Fossilised Tree Trail).

Pastoral bliss

Another popular option is to wander around the nearby village of Cervera, an idyllic town that has managed to preserve its provincial charm. Forget Instagram and live in the moment as you stroll its streets or drop in on other neighbouring locations, like Aguilar del Campoo’s Santa María la Real Monastery, a Romanesque treasure.

If you just want to relax, head over to the fireplace lounge, a great place to settle down with a book and a cup of coffee or a nice aperitif. Later, treat yourself to a hearty meal of regional cuisine at the Parador’s restaurant, where you can savour classics like Castilian roast suckling lamb, freshly caught cod, Golden Reinette apple tart and Camporredondo truffles.
